  • Patent number: 8287414
    Abstract: A continuously variable transmission device comprising a variator and a secondary power splitting. For power splitting, a planetary gear set has a first shaft coupled to the transmission input, a second shaft of the gear set coupled a first shaft of the variator, and a third shaft of the gear set couples a second shaft of the variator. First and second shift elements are provided to switch between first and second gear ratio ranges. Via the variator, the gear ratio is continuously variable within the gear ratio range and the two gear ratio ranges overlap. To implement the first gear ratio range, the second shaft of the gear set is connected, via the first shift element, to the transmission output, and to implement the second gear ratio range, the third shaft of the planetary gear set is connected, via the second shift element, to the transmission output.

  • Publication number: 20120084543
    Abstract: A hardware accelerator module is driven by a system processor via a system bus to sequentially process data blocks of a data stream as a function of a parameter set defined by the processor. The module includes a register block adapted to receive parameter sets from the system processor, an accelerator core adapted to receive streaming data, to process data blocks of said streaming data in a manner defined by a parameter set, and to output processed streaming data, and a parameter buffering block adapted to consecutively store a plurality of parameter sets and to sequentially provide the parameter sets to the hardware accelerator core as a function of a busy state of the hardware accelerator core. The parameter buffering block enables to reduce downtimes of hardware accelerators, to increase data throughput, and to reduce the risk of a processor overload in a processor which drives several hardware accelerators.

  • Publication number: 20070073901
    Abstract: A sending station forms a send vector from a data vector having N elements by coding with an error correction code with an a-value modulation alphabet and Q elements, with a being a natural number equal to or greater than two, and sends the send vector to user equipment. The send energy able to be used for sending the send vector is distributed to the Q elements taking into consideration at least one characteristic of the error correction code such that the probability of an incorrect decoding of a receive vector received by the user equipment on the basis of the send vector sent is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6959010
    Abstract: In the novel method for data transmission via a radio interface in a radio communications system, at least two data channels are assigned to one connection. Each data channel can be distinguished by an individual spread code. In addition to data symbols, midambles with known symbols are transmitted in a data channel. The number of midambles being used for the connection is less than the number of data channels. The method is particularly suitable for use in TD/CDMA 3rd generation mobile radio networks.

  • Patent number: 6781975
    Abstract: In order to compatibly adapt a wireless telecommunication system with a CDMA, FDMA and TDMA multiple access component, particularly a hybrid “JD-CDMA” telecommunication system with respect to multiple access methods, to a GSM-specific/DECT-specific (micro-cell, macro-cell and/or Pico cell-specific) telecommunication system with respect to the air interface, signaling information fashioned as “stealing flag” for distinguishing between payload and signaling channels are first arranged such in a provided time slot structure that an asymmetrical division of the time slot data arises with respect to a training data block (midamble) of the time slot structure and, second, the transmission time duration for the provided time slot structure of a data element fashioned as “chip” and contained in the time slot structure is dimensioned such that this is a multiple of a predetermined clock frequency—for example, GSM/DECT-specific clock frequency—covering the numerical range

  • Patent number: 6606314
    Abstract: In a method for data transmission in a radio communications system, a radio interface is subdivided into time slots for a transmission of bursts. In this case, the data are transmitted in data channels in a time slot, in which data channels can be distinguished by use of individual spread codes. A finite burst containing data symbols and at least one midamble with known symbols is used for data transmission in a data channel. At least one parameter is determined for the traffic conditions of the radio interface, and a ratio of a length of the midamble and a data part with data symbols is adjusted depending on the traffic conditions. The method is suitable in particular for use in 3rd generation TD/CDMA mobile radio networks.

  • Patent number: 6381260
    Abstract: Data is transmitted via a radio interface in a radio communications system in that at least one subscriber signal is transmitted, which has an individual fine structure applied to it and, in addition to data symbols in data sections, contains a midamble with known symbols. The fine structures of the data sections and of the midamble differ. At the transmission end, a sum signal is produced which contains signal sections to which different fine structures are applied. The sum signal is filtered in at least one transmission filter and is transmitted via a transmission channel to a receiving radio station. A control device controls the addition so that different attenuation of the signal sections is compensated for by the filtering. The method is suitable, in particular, for mobile stations having a single or variable data rate, and for base stations for use in 3rd generation TD/CDMA mobile radio networks.
